We have scoured the earth looking for the ultimate billberry and now have secured over 300 Lbs. of these delightful little fruits. Used in recipes, candles, soaps, and for aromatherapy these berries are one of our best sellers! Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) is a low-growing deciduous shrub that is native to northern Europe. Bilberries belong to the heath family, and are very closely related to blueberries and other small fruits of importance such as cranberries and huckleberries. The bilberry plant is also known by other names, including European blueberry, huckleberry, hurtleberry, and whortleberry.
Our organic Bilberries are actually fantastic for your body – especially your circulatory system, your eyes and certainly your brain and heart. One thing that we have noticed about bilberries is the fact that they will actually improve the circulation of the blood throughout your body. This will not only assist with your heart, keeping your heart rate normal, but overall, you will feel better!
Bilberries are smaller than blueberries, and their intense pigments are evenly distributed throughout the skin and flesh. This is in sharp contrast to blueberries in which the pigments are located principally in the berry's skin.

The berries of the Bilberry bush contain flavonoids and anthocyanin, which is known to help thin blood, in addition to promoting the release of vasodilators. Aside from these benefits, berries also contain antioxidants that have proven to lower blood sugar, and prevent clotting of the blood. Another advantage of these antioxidants is that they will improve blood supply to the nervous system, which is very important for good health.
When you drink tea made from our dried bilberries or from using our organic bilberry leaf, you are also getting a good supply of vitamins C and A, which contain antioxidants that are known to help promote good eyesight and prevent damage due to free radicals. The vitamin A helps with eyesight while vitamin C helps with the repair of damaged cells. For years people have been using Bilberry tea as a treatment to help strengthen eyesight, and fight vision problems, such as night blindness.
